Hey, even using up a bottle of salad dressing before it goes bad can feel like a substantial win.
1. An 8-in-1 mani in a bottle for a long-lasting flush of color that'll make it seem like you went and got a pro mani. But really, you brushed it on while you caught up on Summer House for a much nicer result than the last time you tried that with a regular polish.
Promising review: "I love this stuff. I wanted the benefits of these ingredients but also wanted a flush of color. This stuff is so pretty. You can see on my thumb how smooth my severely rigid and damaged nail is. It looks so much better. The pointer and middle finger have a press on, but I wanted to show how well it applied on flawed natural nails too, next to a 'perfect' press-on." — Katerina

2. A rectangular lazy Susan made to hold more than the traditional round ones. Here's to grabbing the oat milk from the back of the fridge without having to remove everything from the shelf that just so happens to be in front of said oat milk. Also, this'll help you use up salad dressings before they go bad!
Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the rectangular lazy Susan in action.
Promising review: "This is perfect for short people with big refrigerators! I could never reach anything on the top shelf and had to grab a step stool, now everything fits perfectly on this and I can reach them all! It glides great and is very sturdy." — Tara Mann
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four pack sizes).
3. A sturdy Pikk-It tool with sharp metal teeth that'll un-ensnare tangled hair from your vacuum cleaners, hairbrushes, and even your beloved round brush dryer. Raise your hand if you've ever broken a seam ripper cleaning a vacuum cleaner. (Meee.)
Promising review: "Cleaned three items in less than five minutes. Vacuum brush head and two hair brushes that have three girls' long hair. I can't wait to get the whole vacuum and rug cleaner bristles cleaned. I had to write this review after testing it out. Design is strong, sturdy, and handles great. Highly recommended." — Rob
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
4. A pomade hair wax stick is a super easy-to-apply product that will keep all your flyaways and frizzies controlled whenever you put your hair up into a ponytail or bun.
Promising review:"Love it! Works great, doesn't look greasy. Leaves the hair looking sleek. I have naturally curly hair and straighten my hair some days." — Nicole Woods
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in multiple sizes and packs).
5. The Pink Stuff Spray in case you're extremely into the OG cleaning paste and have wondered out loud, "Hm, I wonder what else they make." Well, THIS!
Promising review: "I've tried everything I could think of to get my oven clean, then came across this on Amazon. It smells like green apples to me, which is far better than most cleaning products. The picture was taken during the cleaning process of the inside of the glass door. I'm amazed!" — Star
Get it from Amazon for $4.86 (also available in a bathroom spray and window and glass spray).
6. Scouring sponges to handle most of the elbow grease for hand-washing anything that needs more than a simple rinse. Caked-on crud from a grilled cheese you left overnight? NBD.
Promising review: "Absolutely works as described. Removes the gunk, discoloration, and crud from the bottom of pots easily. Wet the sponge with water, start scrubbing and watch the magic begin in seconds. Minimal elbow grease needed." — Marty Marion
Get an 8-pack from Amazon for $7.99.
7. An exfoliating scrub mitt can help you part with excess dead skin and particles while you use it a couple of times a month (it's that good so you don't have to use it as often as other exfoliators!). Reviewers find it super helpful for removing self-tanner, addressing ingrown hairs, and increasing circulation.
Promising review:"I have very thin and light body hair, so any form of removal (shaving, waxing, etc) usually leaves me with a lot of ingrown hairs. I've tried body scrubs and washcloths and neither really do a great job. I saw this product recommended by a dermatologist on TikTok and thought I'd try it — it's amazing! I also have very sensitive skin, and this mitt doesn't leave my skin irritated at all. However, absolutely do not use this mitt on your face, neck, or other sensitive areas, it would be way too harsh.
I like to use this mitt first when I get in the shower, then use a body wash (a gentle chemical exfoliant) and follow up with body lotion for dry and sensitive skin. This whole routine is fragrance free and leaves my skin feeling very soft and moisturized." — Kat
Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (also available in a set of two).
8. A standing weeder (without the chemicals!) to help improve your view of your sprawling yard that was very enticing 'til you had to weed it. You're not the only one who has trouble enjoying weed-filled scenery. And hey, while you're weeding with this there's no bending over! Your back will thank you.
Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy. Grampa's Weeder is a small biz.
Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG
Get it on Amazon for $39.99.
9. A tabletop fly fan that'll do the swatting at bugs for ya. Its steady breeze serves as a deterrent while you're just trying to enjoy the great outdoors on your patio.
If you're looking for something more whimsical, consider this donut-shaped option.
Promising review: "This product works well on outside tables to keep flies off of your food. We used it just last night, and it's lightweight and a great size. No assembling required; just add batteries." — SmileyReviews
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
10. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner you can simply throw in your sink (the whole packet!), turn on the water, and watch fizz up as it does the tough work below on all the gunk that OTHER PEOPLE have let build up in your disposal.
Amazon
Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.97.
11. Lumify Eye Drops beloved by the masses who've tried other redness-reducing eye drops before. Yes, these are a bit pricier than other versions. But reviewers say it's totally worth it! Oh, and don't forget that it's also made to help relieve dry eyes.
Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard
"To drops in your eyes and all day, they look perfectly white and healthy. I would definitely buy these again." — Kelley
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
12. Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pens to easily apply and let sit a minute or two to dry. Buh-bye annoying strips that never quite fit your teeth and coffee stains.
You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades. I'm currently working my way through one of these pens!
Promising review:"I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." — vicki houska
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99.
13. A powerful dishwashing spray that, honestly, if you buy anything from this list, this should be it — especially if your home *doesn't* include a dishwasher. You can spray down that casserole dish caked with enchilada sauce, let it sit, and you simply wipe and rinse away that saucy mess in a few minutes after you've conquered your meal.
I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well.
Get the starter pack from Amazon for $12.16.
14. Seamless bra liners to put underneath your bra to keep it from getting soaked by noon with sweat. Also, they'll put a bit of cushion between your underwire and skin for some extra comfort.
FYI: They're machine-washable!
Promising review:"This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65° outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you thank you thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for." — Niko
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and in several color combos).
15. But if you can't bear the thought of putting something else on your body, some 'bust dust' anti-boob-sweat powder with soothing lavender and chamomile in a sprayable, talc-free formula to fight dampness and discomfort.
Megababe
Promising review: 'Lifesaver! I wear a very full D cup and this saves me during the summer months. Needless to say, the Florida heat is unrelenting and I cannot live without this Bust Dust. It definitely does the trick to keep my bra dry!' — wenb
Get it from Ulta for $16.
16. A stainless-steel tongue scraper that'll help you kick sour wafts to the curb FAR better than your toothbrush. OK, so it might make you gag but then you'll marvel at what gets scraped off.
Promising review:"Unfortunately I, like many, suffer from bad breath and have tried so many things to stop it. I read that sometimes it's the germs on your tongue that can cause it, so I went crazy trying to brush my tongue. Of course, we all know how that ends — gagging, watery eyes, and it still looks like that gross film is on your tongue. I finally decided that maybe it was time to get a tongue cleaner and it had to be a stainless steel one because they are easier to clean and sterilize. This product is really easy to use and I can get very far back on my tongue without activating my gag reflex. Also, it doesn't have the feeling like brushing with a toothbrush does. This cleaner just glides across my tongue, taking all the icky germs and bad breath with it. I love my nice new fresh breath and bolster of confidence!" — jordanlauren
Get it from Amazon for $7.68.
17. Bottle Bright cleaning tablets will revive the look (and taste!) of the stainless-steel thermos you use every dang day but aren't so great at washing like you should. If stained thermoses and coffee mugs give you the ick, these little tabs are really going to help your bottom line.
Promising review:"Finished using it five minutes ago and it's the best! My husband uses a Stanley thermos daily to take coffee to work. He tries to remember to rinse it out every day, but that doesn't always happen. I got the package today, filled the thermos with water, dropped a tablet in, and let it sit. I promptly forgot about it for a few hours. Initially, I was disappointed when I dumped the water, as it was barely tinged brown. Then I put fresh water in, covered the top, shook it, and OMG. T he crap that came out was disgusting, yet fascinating. I looked in the thermos and saw almost nothing but sparkly silver! There was a little crud left in the top third of the thermos, but it's a really tall one, so I wasn't surprised. Got the bottle brush, swished twice, and bam! All clean! No fumes, no smell, no nothing, just clean. I used to struggle cleaning it with baking soda, vinegar, the brush, soap, and elbow grease. Screw that. I will forever use only these tablets! Here's to better tasting (and way less gross) coffee!" — BranchingOut
Get 12 tablets from Amazon for $7.48.
18. Some anti-slip eyeglasses stoppers in case you're sick and tired of pushing up your glasses all the time. These subtly help your glasses stay on your nose where you want 'em but are cute in case someone DOES notice them. And with 15 pairs per order, you can outfit all your eyeglasses and sunnies with these!
Promising review:" My face is a little sweaty, and while tilting my head 90 degrees downward, they have stayed put. Typically, they would fall off, so these hearts do work!" — chezkk
Get 15 pairs from Amazon for $6.99 (available in six colors).
19. A heavy-duty toenail clipper in case your toenails lean more toward the talons and regular old toenail clippers just can't handle them. This pro-level tool can take on thick nails for a comfier trim at home.
Promising review:"We bought this for our teen grandson to use for an ingrown toenail because he was not able to go to a nail salon that he trusted to fix this problem. It worked perfectly. He was so pleased with the result as it took care of his painful problem! Thank you for making a fantastic product. Every household should own one, especially during this COVID-19 health crisis!" — T.S.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
20. KISS PowerFlex Maximum Speed Nail Glue that'll help you realize your faux-nail dreams and then reuse the nails over and over again for a salon look on the cheap. Most reviewers say it lasts for more than a week.
Check out a TikTok of the nail glue in action.
Promising review: "I've been using this on my press-ons, and when I say they last a month or longer without any popping off! I will never go back to any other brand. Easy to use, quick-drying, GREAT PRICE!! Like, how can you best that value? The size you get for the price is really unmatched. The glue removal is pretty eas y. If I plan on reusing the press-ons, I'll soak them in water and soap and pop them off. If not, I'll cut and shave down the nails and soak in acetone until it dissolves the nails enough for me to use my drill." — Big Ming
Get it from Amazon for $1.97.
21. An earwax removal kit anyone who seems to get built up goo quite a bit will appreciate. Or anyone who watches earwax removal videos when they can't sleep. ::raises hand::
Promising review:"Many years ago, I had a pretty severe wax impaction issue. Went to the doctor and got my ear flushed. They recommended this to continue to deal with excess wax. So satisfying to see the wax flush out after using this. These days, my eczema and dry skin had re-surfaced in my ears. So, now I use it to deal with the dry flaky skin in my ears. Put some drops in, let it fizz and bubble, and flush them out. The flakes come out easily — much better than the maddening itchy ears." — Kim
Get it from Amazon for $7.98.
22. A natural, plant-based cleaner in case the reason you let things reach gas station–bathroom levels is because you can't stand the smell of bleach. This stuff will tackle grime, streaks, spilled foundation, soap scum, and basically whatever else ends up on your bathroom surfaces. AND it'll leave behind a eucalyptus and tea tree scent, a vast improvement from smelling like an indoor pool.
Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I was skeptical at first because I have these dark stains on my shower floor that I've never been able to get out and was thinking something 'natural' wouldn't be heavy-duty enough for it. I cleaned half the shower at first because I wanted to see how it looked compared to the dirty side and it did an amazing job with a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference." — Katherine Cheng
Get two bottles from Amazon for $12.34.
23. Wonderskin Wonder Blading One Step Lip Stain Masque will help you get a little more excited to put on some makeup in the morn because it's fun AND easy. It goes on like a cool lip stain and then peels off to reveal gorgeous, long-lasting color.
Wonderskin is a small business that specializes in makeup and skincare products.
Promising reviews: " I kept seeing Wonder Blading Lip videos on my TikTok. Went to Sephora and couldn't believe they didn't have it. Wound up buying it on Amazon and loving it!" — PM
"I didn't know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It's true to its word about the 12 hour stay power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn't come off! If you like lip stain? Get this product! It's a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." — Brandy
Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 21 shades).
24. A horizontal water bottle organizer that'll keep those too-tall and too–top heavy water bottles *right* where you want them. So it'll be much easier to find your bottle-of-the-day in a flash.

Get it for $19.39+ (available in four sizes).
25. Crave Naturals Detangling brush can glide through your hair without tugging or ripping out your strands. Time-sucking tangles, meet your match.
Promising review:"Omg!!! This is the best detangling brush ever!! Shampoo bath nights have been restored! I dread ever time have have to detangle my daughter's hair no matter how much conditioner I used it would end in tears and frustration! My daughter's hair has super tight curls and I don't think I have ever really fully detangled it until now! We have used other combs brushes and this one by far was the holy grail! No more tears and I feel confident her hair is fully detangled!!" — Ashlee Gordon
Promising review (for natural hair):"I never write reviews, but I had to for this one. This brush cured my cancer, paid my rent and revived Jesus from the dead. This. is. a. holy. grail. I have the tangliest (IDC if that's not a word) terribly hard to manage curly, natural hair. But this brush gave me shine brighter than a haole baby's bottom and glided through my hair with ease. 100% RECOMMEND." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine colors and multipacks).
26. A self-stirring mug if you'd rather die than take your coffee black, but hate how long it takes your creamer and sugar to actually blend.
Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the self-stirring mug in action.
Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of coffee and I need it in daily life. Absolutely loving this new cup! Easy and quick to mix your coffee and milk, pretty handy! Cleaning the cup couldn't be easier with the self stirring function, just put a little dab of soap, fill the mug half way with water, turn it on and let it do its own thing." — Lina
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in five colors).
27. A rotating Beachwaver curling iron will take a lot of the actual work out of curling your hair. I can curl my hair with a regular curling iron with my eyes closed but I SWEAR by this thing.
I've used about every kind of hair styling tool on the planet and had given up on curling irons with clamps. I was fully a curling wand girlie because I'm adept at heat styling and it gave me covetable mermaid waves I wanted. Then I tried a Beachwaver and haven't looked back since. I have them in two barrel sizes and now can zone out while I do my hair. The directional buttons for the tool are easy to use and if I accidentally press the button for the opposite way of which I'd like the barrel to spin, it's a quick and easy correction. I try all sorts of products for my job but this has quickly become one that I talk about all the time.
Get it from Amazon for $99.
28. A HUGE pack of denture- and retainer-cleaning tablets that, YES, will de-gunk that $$$ mouthguard you got talked into at the dentist. But it will also turn back time on stained coffee mugs and thermoses so you aren't tempted to invest in new ones when you've got perfectly good ones at home. (Or you can even revive ones found at the thrift or from your local buy-nothing group!) Gotta love a two-fer.
I've used this hack to get rid of coffee stains in white mugs with another brand's denture/retainer cleaners and found it's most effective when used with boiling instead of room temp water.
M3 Naturals is a small biz.
Promising review: "Not only does it work perfectly on my grinder guard, but I used it on a water bottle and a coffee mug, and it was perfectly clean. Had a mint flavor, so that's the only reason I washed them. Got the coffee stain out and everything." — Rachel
Get a 120-pack from Amazon for $18.81.
29. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles for a serious step up from regular brushes. It has regular firm bristles PLUS longer ones that are ten times thinner to *really* get in between teeth and gums, mimicking flossing. Psst, it's also safe for sensitive teeth.
Mouthwatchers is a small business by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans — which are great for targeting stuff often missed with traditional brush and floss routines.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say about them: " I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. "
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90.
30. Outdoor cleaner wipes so you won't use a whole spray bottle and roll of paper towels on getting the patio set ready for actual sitting. Yep, it even works on removing bird poop!
Amazon
Promising review: "This product really worked on the pitch and bird poop on outside furniture… very pleased." — G.R.
Get them from Amazon for $9.79.
31. A rotating whisk blender can help you quickly beat eggs when making scrambled eggs for an army. BTW, I take mine low and slow.
Check out a TikTok of the whisk in action.
Promising review:"This is one of the coolest gizmos I've purchased! And it works like a charm, especially for scrambled eggs. I've always struggled with getting the egg white and yoke blended well together. This tool does the trick. I found it most effective with liquids. Any kind of sauce or salad dressing can be well blended with this tool too." — Austin
Get it from Amazon for $15.12.
32. A pooper scooper might seem like a prank gift. But will go to TOWN on all those piles your dog leaves in your yard without you having to bend down.
Amazon
Promising review:"With three dogs, two small and one large, scooping the yard is a never-ending job. But with the Arm & Hammer swivel bin and rake, there is no more bending to pick up the doggy droppings. I am able to easily use the rake to push the droppings into the bag covered bin. When I am done cleaning up the yard, I just simply remove the plastic bag from the scoop, tie it off, and dispose. I do spray the rake off with the hose sprayer and then clip the rake onto the scooper for easy storage. I really like this handy scooper. It makes a very icky job much easier to handle." — Kelly Eldred
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
33. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you can program so the coffee machine cuts on each before you can zombie-walk to the kitchen. It also works with Alexa and Google Home!
Amazon,
Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. It's also a great way to turn on your kettle or coffee brewer from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed!
Promising review:"This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." — Alecia McLochlin
Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in white and black).
34. A set of toss-and-chop salad tongs, or "salad scissors," that'll help break your $16-salad habit from that place down the street. This chopping tool (that costs less than two of those salads, btw) will bring a little bit of action to food-prep while helping convince yourself that your homemade salads are delish.
Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the salad scissors in action.
Promising review: "Love these! I hate big leafy salads so I bought these and they're perfect for chopping greens into bites. I also use them to quickly chop cherry tomatoes, onions, and other veggies. VERY nice quality." — asoon
Get it from Amazon for $21.50.
35. La Pure Waterproof Eyeliner Stamp I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend it to you because practicing a cat-eye flick is HARD.
Perhaps you're like me and don't feel done up until you have an eyeliner flick. This'll help!
Promising review:"I am not one to write reviews often, but this product has exceeded my expectations! I normally use liquid liners such as Kat Von D Tattoo, but this has drastically reduced the time it takes for me to create a winged look! I personally prefer a longer wing, but this stamp provides a template to work with and reduces the amount of time to create 'sister' wings — they're pretty much twins now! The eyeliner pen itself it's a bit broad for me, but the pigment is great!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in two sizes).
36. A Neutrogena makeup eraser stick can let you do a quick touch-up on that eyeliner wing that you can't get right or you accidentally smeared before it was set. And it's small enough that you can throw it in your bag on the reg.
Amazon
Promising review:"Why didn't someone think of this sooner? For years, I've been using cotton swabs dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. Must-buy product!!" — Katherine Riordan
Get it from Amazon for $7.97.
37. A special brush will keep your dryer's lint trap clear of debris and make drying cycles/the appliance more effective for longer. PLUS, this is a basic safety thing everyone should do!
Amazon,
Also, built-up lint is a fire hazard! Make this a part of your weekly cleaning routine.
Promising review:"This brush is stiff but flexible enough to feed under my dryer's lint filter. Several weeks ago, a trouble light came on that indicated the airflow in my dryer was becoming obstructed. I had the dryer vent and area under the lint filter cleaned. (Not much lint was pulled out, so maybe the dryer sensor gave a false alarm.) I felt a small investment in a brush such as this is better than paying for a future vent cleaning. I've been using it once a week, and it picks up a little lint each time, but that's lint that won't have a chance to build up in the dryer vent!" — blueskys
Get it from Amazon for $5.95
38. Grandma's Secret, an under-the-radar solution with serious stain-removing prowess — like, cleaning grease from your favorite pair of jeans.
It can remove oil, grease, ink, grass, and blood stains for all my vampires out there. Psst, a few years ago I recommended this to a friend who fell in a puddle of motor oil on a sidewalk, then accidentally wiped it on her camel coat. It got the stains out!
Promising review:"So….my son pays no mind to the amount of grease that he is covered in while working in the farm shop 🤣😂 I had basically said these jeans are work jeans now!!! I am amazed at how these look after two washes!! If you haven't ordered it, go do it now!!" — Mommyof20607

39. Goo Gone can zap all sorts of sticky messes on stuff you're trying to make outlive you. It's ready to take on all kinds of messes, including sticky residue from mounted objects like below.
When I moved into my rental apartment years ago it came with a fridge with some stuck-on magnets I couldn't scrape off with my finger (and thus, ruined a manicure). My mom rec'd this stuff and it got rid of the mess easy-peasy. Since then I've rec'd it to a friend to successfully remove stickers from garage door windows.
Promising review:"This is an amazing product. I've been trying everything to remove my old phone mount on my car dashboard, and this adhesive removal worked very fast. My recommendation is to wear gloves, I noticed that my fingertips and my nails got damaged. But besides from that, I give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to GOO GONE" — May

40. A box of slow cooker liners that'll make cleaning up after yourself (and delicious concoctions) criminally easy in case the reason you haven't been using this workhouse countertop appliance is because of the cleanup. Just toss the liner when you're finished!

Promising review:"This stuff works great... and that's coming from a clean freak. This cleaner/polish works awesome on stainless steel and any other material that the appliance is made of. It comes with a high-quality microfiber cloth, and it smells good. A little goes a long way, so it lasts through daily use." — RMK

44. A Scumbug to help keep your pool from getting too gross too quickly after you've done the FULL clean and opened it up for the season. It soaks up sunscreen, oils, and other gross stuff enjoying your backyard retreat. When it gets discolored, simply wring it out, rinse it, and then put it back in its watery home.
Promising review:"Scummy water bugging you? I just got this gem of a product last night. Popped it into my hot tub and from the picture I attached, you can see that in just about 12 hours, this little Scumbug ate up all the oil and filth in the hot tub. The water not only looks better, but smells better too! Highly recommended!" — Mickey D.
